    We come every year for our anniversary and this year didn’t disappoint. Husband is celiac, it’s nice they have gluten free bread to bring to table as well as many options for starters and entrees. The food was all cooked to perfection and the portions are always large. We were too stuffed to have dessert. The prices are higher but you know that going in. If that’s not an issue for you then this is a fantastic place to celebrate something special.

    Perhaps it was just a bad day? Waited half hour for breakfast, turkey sausage over cooked, asked for bacon, took another half hour to come. Did not eat as we had to leave. Restaurant was not busy at all, only one waitress.

    The service staff were excellent, very helpful and attentive. Very nice ambiance as well. And a nice touch with champagne to start, for my birthday. The food, however, was not great. They did offer a nice amuse-bouche, prosciutto with melon and buratta, then a couple of sorbets as well. I had the vegan dish for dinner though, and it was a very odd assortment of ingredients: vegan ground beef with edamame stuffed into a half squash shell. They weren’t flavours that complemented one another. Refer to any well-known vegan cookbook for some lovely recipes. Also, my friend had the chicken and said that it was quite rubbery and hard to cut. She did not eat it, and they refunded half the cost. Overall, I know they could have done better.

    Service was impeccable, main course did take a while to come out but the amuse bouches and appetizers did tie us over. The rack of lamb was perfect as well as the rib eye, chef selections were also excellent, however the seafood dip appetizer really stood out to me on the freshness of the seafood aswell as the consistency of the dip. The only downside was just the ambiance for the dining room it really doesn’t capture the quality of food and service. We really felt taken care of.

    Food pretty average particularly for the price. Servers were very nice but rarely made it back, so resulted in a long wait post mains before someone came back to check if dessert / drinks were wanted.

    Beautiful restaurant with very good service. The seafood was amazing except the tuna (never had tuna before so it may be just me). Only suggestion is the younger groups who are generally speak louder and more energetic should be kept further away from the senior or quieter groups.

    The menu seems to be getting more and more limited. And there was only one feature last night, which was surprising. Prices have certainly increased, and the service usually justifies it, but last night, not so much. Matthew, the young assistant to our server though, was beyond kind and wonderful and definitely helped make our experience pleasant overall. TBH, I felt like our server was overall annoyed by us, and everything else, from the moment we sat down. And that was quite disappointing.

She patiently waited while we made our choices, offering helpful recommendations and gave us all the information we needed for a wonderful, relaxing dinner.

    Service was impeccable - as it was the last time we dined here, several years ago. The dessert was divine! As vegetarians, we felt the main course options were mostly meat focused that left us with only one choice. That choice was delicious but it would be better to have more vegetarian options.

    From the moment we arrived into the restaurant we were so impressed with the staff. Everyone was so pleasant, attentive and personable. The food was exceptional from our seafood and salad appetizers to our main courses and dessert. We all finished everything on our plates which is uncommon for us. It was our mom’s 80th and we were given a glass of champagne as a congratulations upon our arrival. It is obvious how much the staff enjoy their job and how well they must be treated and respected. Beyond a 5 star experience! Thank you from all of us!!!

    Was great but was surprised that the vegan options were so limited for dinner. Lots of options for breakfast and at Play, but Liv only had one vegan main and no vegan dessert. They were accommodating but was a bit disappointing.

    We went for a birthday dinner and were greeted with 2 complimentary glasses of champagne. That set the right tone for the evening, and after bread with spreads, an amuse bouche, and a palate cleanser, we were ready for the adventure of the meal. My husband ordered the t-bone steak, and I ordered duck. The food was excellent, and the steak was huge. After the cheesecake dessert, there were delicious mignardises. Service was also impeccable, and the whole evening felt like the special night out we were hoping for.
